Audioslave - Show Me How to Live (Reaction/First Listen!)

#audioslave #chriscornell #songreaction #musicreaction #reaction
We're back with more Audioslave this week! I've really been enjoying hearing more from this band and Chris Cornell. I feel like every song I listen to I say is almost a new favorite by each band of his.. They're all so good! But this one came with some questions...
Don't forget to leave me a request!

Chris Cornell wasn't a Rockstar. He was THE Rockstar. ❤

[@brentkelsay3439]

A great, interesting song. Per Wikipedia, Chris achieved the unusual effect by repeatedly striking his throat with the side of his hand while changing pitch. Apparently Chris tweeted in 2009 that the lyrics were "nail in my head." Glad you're continuing down the Chris Cornell path, Nikki! 🙌

Audioslave - your time has come

I LOVE THE DODGE CHALLENGER, BEAUTIFUL CAR!! USED TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE. THIS A REAL MOVIE I THINK IT WAS CALLED VANISHING POINT. CHRIS HITS HIS THROAT AT THE END TO MAKE THAT SOUND. THE AWESOME DRUMMER USED TO BE IN A BAND WITH EDDIE VEDDER INTERESTING FACT. AWESOME REACTION NIKKI!! 😊💓🔥🤘✌️ RIP CHRIS CORNELL 😢💔

One of the greatest choruses in rock to me, with Chris belting the whole thing like high thunder.

I hope you plan on listening to some Soundgarden at some point it's Hard rock/metal sounding but it sounds completly different from both temple of the dog and audioslave ... i'd recommend Limo Wreck, Outshined, The Day i tried to live, Slaves and bulldozers, Beyond the wheel (especially the live version) , Fell on black days, Black Hole Sun, New Damage, Loud Love ect ect

Nikki, you said it looks like a movie, and you weren't wrong, the idea for this video was borrowed from a classic movie from the 70's Vanishing Point

[@Jackmickleson1984]

You won’t be disappointed if you go down this rabbit hole! Virtually all of his music is better live. Average band are ok live but the great ones are better! Keep going, you haven’t even cracked into his best songs!!

[@lynn967]

Thank You for that, Chris is my favorite musician, never get tired of his music.He has so many great songs, I hope you can get to all of them. R.I.P. SWEET MUSIC MAN

So happy this won. It's my favorite Audioslave song. A bit different than Like A Stone and open to interpretation.

[@steves.6519]

This, Cochise, and I am the Highway are my 3 favorites from Audioslave.

Chris was such a force

[@unklebacon44]

I've seen this as a live play too, the end is him holding the note while flicking at his throat with a finger.

This music vid reminds me of the GnR trilogy of music vids, each was a lot more than just a simple music video.

[@mjc1389]

I remember watching Vanishing Point when I was a kid and that ending scene freaked me out.

[@cherylmontgomery9753]

I am also interested in the meaning to this song. What I get out of it is that Chris is asking his creator to show him how to live since he gave him life. How do I live this life? Just a guess. Great song great cover ❤

[@richardhenderson9767]

The Curse and Getaway Car are magical by Audioslave!!!❤❤

[@marcelguy3955]

I have the album on vinyl with the original lyric sheet included, and it has the lyric as “ nail in my hand, from my creator”.

Also recalled hearing about Chris being conflicted about being religious and found this For much of his life, Chris Cornell was a fallen-away Catholic. Much of his early music, as with that of many other grunge artists, reflects the complicated relationship between grunge and religion, as well as between himself and religion. Also found this thought it was interesting The lyrics, delivered with Chris Cornell's intense vocal prowess, express a profound sense of yearning for direction and understanding of one's purpose.
